This camera was purchased for underwater as well as traveling usage. In the Canon case, it takes good underwater shots, within the constraints of not having an external flash. So above around 20'-30' the shots are fine and below that decent, but lower quality. Above water pictures were very good, as long as motion is not involved, and that's about the only disappointment with the camera. Even when set on 'kids and pets' mode, if the subject has much motion, the picture blurs. There is manual adjustment possible, so there may be a solution there, however, that's not why I bought this camera. This is one of the few cameras in this size that has a wider angle lens, which is a plus, particularly for underwater photography. I set the pictures for superfine M3, and in low light conditions there was a fair amount of lag, which wasn't a problem in higher light level conditions. On the balance, I'd recommend this camera.

I bought this camera before vacation since my first Canon digital camera had finally bitten the dust (after 4 years of great pics). After a month of occasional use with this camera, I still have not found a setting that takes non-grainy indoor shots without a flash. It could be me, but perhaps there's a reason the SD1100 is touted as "good in low light". It's disappointing that this model costs more and does not provide the same performance indoors.

Easy to understand and move around dial allows for better picture.

I really enjoy taking pictures indoors, with the wideangle lense you can catch the entire livingroom on one picture.

I bought this camera because my son had one and he liked it, and now, the more I use this camera the more I like it. This camera replaced a Nikon 5200, which, in comparison, has a very slow reaction time. We take a lot of family pictures, including grandchildren, and by the time the Nikon 5200 took the picture, expressions or locations had changed and we ended up with a lot of blurry or strange looking expression pictures. The SD870 seems to capture the picture when and as we see it. Captured expressions are what we saw when we pressed the button, and they are in focus. I also use a Nikon D70S, DSLR, and the Canon SD870 compares quite nicely with picture quality and speed of camera operation. I was a little hesitant about getting a camera with only an LCD screen and no eye-level viewfinder, but having just taken 50 or so pictures at my nephew's outside birthday party, I can say that I didn't miss the eye-level viewfinder. The LCD screen was adequate, even in the sunshine. It took me a while - and the instruction book - to figure out how to format the memory card, so it seems like that could be a little easier, but I did get it figured out without calling the help line.The camera probably does a lot more than I'll ever do, but for what I need, I think it works great!

The easy menu navigation makes finding things simple. The large live view LCD screen is easy to see in most lighting conditions, and the face detection is a great feature for my wife.

The SD870 takes amazing pictures as well as movies. We just had prints made and they came out fantastic! The color is much more vivid than my previous camera (an older Sony digital), and I love the red-eye reduction. Lag time between pictures is a fraction of my old camera, which is helpful with a 2-year old running around.

Am very impressed with this camera and particularly like the intuitive menus and the wide angle lens. Since I like to do a lot of scenery photography, this camera allows me to get so much more into the picture.

I cannot say enough about this camera. It was so affordable and takes the most amazing pictures. I have had various high end and overpriced cameras that do not even compare. It is very easy to use and small enough to keep in my diaper bag at all times. I highly recomend it!!

I bought this camera for my personal use after taking my office camera to London for a work trip. It is so easy to use, the photos are great, and the color accent feature is really unique. My only quibble is that sometimes I have problems getting the images to be blur-free, but I expect that's due to my limited photography skills.

This is a great point and shoot with a wide-angle lens, a quick shutter response and a good size LCD screen to see what you've taken pictures of. I use this for everyday purposes. It's not great for low light since it gets a bit grainy sometimes without a flash, but it seems a little better than the earlier version of this camera which I have used at work (I don't know the model number on that). For professional purposes including professional documentation for printing, I would go for a camera with a larger lens, high resolution, and better sensor, but I'm very pleased with this for everyday use.

Bought this camera for mom. Wanted a simple, yet powerful point and shoot for her. She loves the pocket size. She loves the wrist strap where you can adjust the strap to your arm and we both love the large, bright, clear 3" screen. Love the image stabilization feature...no more blurry shots.

This is a really great camera for the casual photographer. Although small it outdoes itself with controls and easiness. The large LCD screen is great for reviewing (and deleting) photos and the controls are clear and easy to use. The picture quality is fantastic and clear. Highly recommend!

This camera is perfect, small and with a big screen. The quality of the pictures and videos are incredible.
I took a lot of fantastic pictures on my holidays in New York.

The first thing I noticed when I first tried my camera was that the on/off button had been activated in my purse (in a camera hard shell case). The camera read lens error which has now happened about 50% of the time I take it with me in my handbag. And I'm not one who carries over the top amounts of stuff in my purse, so I'm not sure how it keeps turning on with a hard shell case! So after reading other reviews I am now concerned that like many many others out there, that my camera lens will break due to this problem happening over and over again. Thankfully I have purchased a 2 year warranty which I'm assuming I will need sooner than later.

Now on to the pictures. I have been putting most things on Auto since I am not an advanced photographer and want my pictures to look like I am. I took it out for a baby shower during the daylight and I'd say only half the pictures turned out clear or bright enough, or dark enough. White shirts look like they're glowing, and in the shade you can't see people clearly...too dark. All in all, the inside shots with flash turned out ok, but the ones inside in very very bright room where no flash should be necessary turned out darker than I thought it should, and certainly not as true as my friends Canon 790 on Auto, or my other friend's camera which was the Nikon Coolpix. Needless to say I will have to print their photos as my pictures I think I can use only 10 out of the 100 I took. And yes, I did try to play with the settings, indoor lighting, beach setting when outside, but the result was the same.

As for the nighttime shots, I will have to learn how to play with exposures here as I missed the window on returning with the 14 days which I'm mad about. I would like to return this as most of my pictures are not turning out as well as I'd hoped. And certainly for the price I paid for this model I should have better auto pictures and no lens errors every other time I open my case.

I love this camera. It is so easy to navigate the options in the menu. The pictures come out great inside and outdoors and I haven't had any problems. It's good value for the money.

Wow, I am a SLR photographer but I wanted a point and shoot on the side.
This is it.
